Why is the radar on the Land Rover Evoque not responding?

Land Rover Evoque radar not responding is due to an issue with the vehicle's parking assist camera. Below is an introduction to the Land Rover Defender: 1. Model: It is an ORV (Off-Road Vehicle) under the Land Rover brand. Since this model was frequently used in military applications in the past, the name 'Defender' was derived, symbolizing the vehicle's powerful performance. 2. Appearance: The new-generation Defender will further enhance Land Rover's product lineup in the domestic market and continue to segment the SUV market in China. The Land Rover Defender is positioned as a mid-to-large SUV, targeting consumers with certain financial means, a passion for off-roading, and a distinctive personality. The Defender's appearance is very striking, with straight, rugged lines showcasing its exceptional all-terrain capabilities. Design elements such as the externally mounted spare tire perfectly align with the aesthetic preferences of its target audience.

When I was reversing my Range Rover Evoque, the parking radar suddenly went silent. I figured I should first check if the sensor lens was covered in mud splatters. Last time after the rain, I didn’t wash the car, and the sensors were completely caked in mud. Maybe I should wipe the lens surface with my finger? If it still doesn’t work after cleaning, chances are one of the probes in the rear bumper got damaged by a small stone. Then, I should open the side panel of the trunk to check the wiring harness connectors—they tend to loosen after driving on bumpy roads. If the car is over five years old, aging and cracked wiring is also common. For such electronic issues, never use a high-pressure water spray. The safest bet is to go straight to the dealership and scan for fault codes with their computer.

The other day, the reverse radar on my Range Rover Evoque stopped working. I first checked the fuse box on the side of the trunk myself. Found the 15A fuse labeled 'Parking Radar' and sure enough, it was blackened and blown. Spent ten bucks on a new fuse for a test run, but the sensors remained silent. Then I crawled under the car to inspect the rear bumper sensors and discovered the far-right sensor was dented from an impact. Temporarily cleaned the other sensors with alcohol wipes, and surprisingly, three of them started working again. A word of caution: when replacing fuses yourself, always match the exact amperage—using a higher amp fuse can fry the module. The electronics in this car are delicate; it's better to get it checked at a shop sooner rather than tinkering blindly.

When the parking assist failure warning pops up on the Range Rover Evoque dashboard, I first recall whether the radar switch on the center console was accidentally pressed. Once, a friend randomly pressed it and turned off the radar function without me knowing. Scrolling through the touchscreen to the vehicle settings menu, the parking assist option was indeed grayed out and disabled. Holding down the steering wheel's star button for ten seconds to reboot the car's computer often revives the radar system after restart. If the radar frequently works intermittently, it might need a sensor software update. For such electronic glitches, visiting a 4S shop for a system refresh is more effective than replacing parts. They can rewrite the control module program in about half an hour using an SDD diagnostic tool.
